Science in Second Grade
Mt. Carmel students are lucky to have
HASP to help meet the
skills the state requires. The second grade science curriculum encourages
students to investigate their environment. We use a four stage learning model:
engage, explore, explain, extend.
Students will:
| 1.) Identify states of
matter as solids, liquids, and gases. |
| 2.) Identify vibration as
the source of sound. |
| 3.) Recognize that light
travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. |
| 4.) Describe observable
effects of forces, including buoyancy, gravity, and magnetism. |
| 5.) Identify the
relationship of structure to function in plants, including roots, stems,
leaves, and flowers. |
| 6.) Identify
characteristics of animals, including behavior, size, and body covering |
| 7.) Identify geological
features as mountains, valleys, plains, deserts, lakes, rivers, and oceans. |
| 8.) Identify evidence of
erosion and weathering of rocks. |
| 9.) Describe evaporation,
condensation, and precipitation in the water cycle. |
| 10.) Identify the impact of
weather on agriculture, recreation, the economy, and society. |
| 11.) Identify basic
components of our solar system, including the sun, planets, and Earth's
moon. |
